Game of Shadows Will Be Movie
Mitchell Blatt
More Bonds, Yeah!Well, Game of Shadows, the book that exposed Barry Bonds as a steroid-user, is now going to be made into an HBO movie. This is just what I need. After watching Bonds in baseball games for the past decade, then on ESPN for half of this year as he was [...]
